Off Panel #22: The Art of Comic Design with Tom Muller

By David Harper

November 11, 2015

Designer Tom Muller guests on this week’s episode of Off Panel to talk the evolution of comic design. The pair talks Muller’s background, how his role plays out on both creator-owned comics and on for-hire jobs, how comic design has grown in importance, the difference between creating covers himself and working with an artist, creating a holistic feel to a comic, the designers he enjoys, and much more. It’s a chat that gives a lot of insight into the rarely looked at world of comic design, but beware, we had a little bit of a problem with Alaska’s internet this week. There are some slight technical difficulties here.
